I often act on instinct. This has served me well over the years for the most part, I think. Hopefully this is the case in my latest instinctual move.

I read a lot of online comics. One of my favorites that I was sure to check on a daily basis was Dr. Lobster. Then, one day, they announced that they were going to sell their comic to the highest bidder: lock, stock and barrel. I enjoy writing, and like to think of myself as having a pretty bizarre sense of humor, so I thought, "What the hell?" But, eBay being the way it is, I lost, because I couldn't react quickly enough. Then, I got home from work, and found out that the high bidder backed out, and that it was mine for the taking. So, again, acting on instinct, I said, "Yes."

So, six weeks from now, I take over as the writer and owner of Dr. Lobster. Please come check it out, both now and once my reign begins. But please wait before you buy any merchandise...
